I do twice a week.
Either Tuesday/Friday or Wednesday/Saturday.
It's working out fine for me. I try to keep my Protein/Moisture balance in check.
I said Fall/Winter I would cut back to once a week (we'll see).

I did twice a week while I was transitioning. (2 years)
I did twice a week for awhile this spring and summer to try to get my hair to the next level. It works! Now my natural hair is in top condition.
I'm back on once a week but it truly feel that more than once a week is essential if you want to get your hair to 100%. After that once a week is optimal. Especially as a new natural or if you use heat or if your hair just isn't at it's peak condition or if you have chemicals. Any of those scenarios make it worth the effort. IMO

I slacked on dc for two months this year and my hair suffered. Lots of shedding every wash day, and dryness.
I woke up smelled the coffee and put life back into my hair. I did regular wash with follow up minute rinse out conditioner at that time. Guess that's why I still have my length.
Any who, I now dc two times a week. My hair stays moisturized, minimum shed hairs.

I'm thinking about DCing twice a week too. But I'll only leave it on for 5 minutes (I have super porous strands). If youre very hi-po, just be weary of your hair getting water-logged. I have that problem in the warmer months when my hair is already moisturized. Pre-pooing with EVCO helps prevents this.

I agree. You have to watch out for water overload, moisture overload....strive for a balance of moisture and protein as well. Don't overdo either.
Above all, Listen to your hair.

I used to when I was relaxed. I think I'll start that up again.

This seems like a good idea during the winter. I'll try it out this month.
